The crucial role of positive male role models in our lives

With yet another Father’s Day behind us, many of us either celebrated the fathers we have, or mourned the ones we do not. A father type figure however is just one persona we look up to and as we look back throughout history, we see the value that significant male role models of all kinds have played in the shaping of humanity and who we are as people.

Why are so many veterans homeless?

Unfortunately, returning veterans who become homeless due to mental health problems or economic hardship are also becoming more common in homeless populations. Many veterans find it difficult to transition into civilian life in general. Whilst serving, there is a camaraderie and a structure that provides connection and purpose. So, when that goes away, many struggle as they lose a significant element of community and routine from their lives
Brad Robertson, Director

Financial hardship

In times of financial hardship, we can provide immediate relief. From paying household bills, to arranging housing, booking and paying for household repairs; coordinating donations of clothing, furniture, appliances and electrical equipment to covering rehabilitation, medical and travel expenses; or covering funeral expenses.
